Our Approach
We act as your outsourced trade finance team. From the first data room review we size the facility, define collateral, and design covenants that will clear credit. We then distribute the deal to banks, private credit funds, and insurers, driving to a firm term sheet in a fixed calendar. Legal, security filings, and drawdowns are coordinated with regulated partners until funds land.
